To all whom it may concern.- i

' Be it known that I, EDWARD H. ROY a citizen of the United States,residing at Nashville, in the county of Davidson and State of Tennesseehave invented certain new and useful improvements in Head Hand-Mirrors,of whichthe following is a specification.

This invention relates to hand mirrors and has as its primary object toprovide a hand mirror by the use of which one may obtain a view of thoseportions of his head which cannot beviewed by looking directly into asingle mirror, and more particularly the back and top of the head.

Another object of the invention is to provide a hand mirror which may beconveniently held so that the-user may view any portion of the back ortop of his head without being required to'turn his head to anyinconvenientor uncomfortable position and without being required toshift his line of vision so as to cause discomfort tothe eyes.

In the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a view in side elevation of the mirror embodying the presentinvention, the view illustrating the manner in which the mirror is to beused; l

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the mirror in use.

The device embodying the invention comprises a handle or hand grip 1 ofany suitable construction and fixed to the upper end of this handle isthe intermediate portion of a supporting member which is indicated ingeneral by the numeral 2. This supporting member comprises arms 3 whichextend gen: erally in opposite directions from the upper end of thehandle 1 and the said member is preferably in the nature of a bar "orrod of metal bent-to bowed form throughout the greater portion ofitslength as indicated by the numeral and having its terminal portionsbent to extend upward as indicated by the numeral 5, the member 2 exceptfor its said terminal portions 5, occupying, in use,

substantially a horizontal plane as will be evident by reference to Fig.1 of the drawmgs.

ment being such that the planes occupied b Upon the upper end of eachterminal porfor use as'in Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing.

The angleof inclination'of the mirrors may be varied from that shown inthe drawin and in fact, if desired, the mirrors 6 and 7 may be supportedfor rotative adjustment upon the respective terminal portions 5 of thesupporting bar although it usually will suffice if the mirrors are fixedat predetermined angles considered to be the best. for the mostconvenient and effective use of the device.

The manner of using the device is clearly illustrated in the drawingsand from the drawings it will be understood that the device is to besupported by grasping the handle 1 in either hand and supporting thedevice so that the portion 4 will bow outward from the neck of the user.port 2 is of such length that the mirrors 6 and 7 will be so spaced thatwhen the device is properly supported one mirror, as for exat the leftside of the user, will be located a suitable distance in front of theusers face and the other mirror 7 will be located a suitable distancerearwardly of the back of his head. Of course, when the device is heldat the right side of the user the mirror 7 will be in front of the faceand the mirror 6 back of the head. In any event the device as a wholemaybe movedin an are about the head and caused to assume various Thesupample the mirror 6, when the device is held a positions so as toenable the user to view of his face and the other in proper positionabove the head. By providing the bowed portion 4, the supporting bar 2may stand relatively close to the neck of the user of the device andthus a wide range of adjustment of the mirrors with regard to the faceand back ofthe head of the user may be obtained and the usefulness ofthe device greatly enhanced. It will be understood, of course, that themirrors may be of any desired type and, of course, of any desired shapeand size.

Having thus described the invention, What 1S claimed as new is:

In a duplicate mirror, a supporting barshoulder of the user, the barbeing bowed" outward between its ends, and mirrors carried by said endsand standing in planes obliqueto-the length of the bar and eon- 10verging outward toward each other.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

EDWARD H. ROY. [1 s.]
